CWIS Fellows

We are proud to benefit from the extraordinary experience and knowledge of activists and scholars who contribute to the body of knowledge we call Fourth World Literature. CWIS Fellows are outstanding contributors to local, regional, countrywide and international dialogues on international policy (climate change, UNDRIP, Biodiversity, international trade, etc), traditional healing, Plant Medicines, healing arts, ancient knowledge systems, as well a Fourth World governance, history and current events analysis.
